About Luca Koch
Luca Koch (es/they/no pronouns) does not shy away from boundaries. Luca trained and explored their means of artistic expression during their Bachelor’s degree in Jazz Voice at Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts and a Master’s degree in Interdisciplinary Artistic Creation at the same school. With their voice and body as their primary tools, they have performed on stages in Switzerland and neighbouring countries with various projects – from jazz, classical music, electro-pop and free improvisation to metal and hip-hop. Luca has also learnt other vocal techniques such as yodelling, throat singing, overtone singing and beat box. Lucas is a winner of the Strebi Memorial Prize 2020 and was sponsored by the Swiss Study Foundation for outstanding academic achievements during their studies. Large-scale stage works and experiences that appeal to all the senses are the focus of Luca’s work, not only working in the field of music, but also in visual art, dance, theatre and performance art and increasingly including smells, tastes and haptics in their art. Luca Koch has been a lecturer in jazz and pop voice, songwriting and sight reading at the Winterthur Institute for Contemporary Music since February 2022 and endeavours to offer gender-neutral, holistic singing lessons and artist training.
